CONDITIONS  OF  SALE 

1.  Any  bid  which  is  merely  a  nominal  or  fractional  advance  may  be 
rejected  by  the  auctioneer,  if,  in  his  judgment,  such  bid  would  be  likely 
to  affect  the  sale  injuriously. 

2.  The  highest  bidder  shall  be  the  buyer,  and  if  any  dispute  arise 
between  two  or  more  bidders,  the  auctioneer  shall  either  decide  the  same 
or  put  up  for  re-sale  the  lot  so  in  dispute. 

3.  Payment  shall  be  made  of  all  or  such  part  of  the  purchase  money 
as  may  be  required,  and  the  names  and  addresses  of  the  purchasers  shall 
be  given  immediately  on  the  sale  of  every  lot,  in  default  of  which  the  lot 
so  purchased  shall  be  immediately  put  up  again  and  re-sold. 

Payment  of  that  part  of  the  purchase  money  not  made  at  the  time  of 
sale,  shall  be  made  within  ten  days  thereafter,  in  default  of  which  the 
undersigned  may  either  continue  to  hold  the  lots  at  the  risk  of  the 
purchaser  and  take  such  action  as  may  be  necessary  for  the  enforcement 
of  the  sale,  or  may  at  public  or  private  sale,  and  without  other  than  this 
notice,  re-sell  the  lots  for  the  benefit  of  such  purchaser,  and  the  deficiency 
(if  any)  arising  from  such  re-sale,  shall  be  a  charge  against  such  pur- 
chaser. 

4.  Delivery  of  any  purchase  will  be  made  only  upon  payment  of  the 
total  amount  due  for  all  purchases  at  the  sale. 

5.  Shipping,  boxing  or  wrapping  of  purchases  is  a  business  in  which 
the  undersigned  is  in  no  wise  engaged,  and  will  not  be  performed  by  it 
for  purchasers.  The  undersigned  will,  however,  afford  to  purchasers 
every  facility  for  employing  at  current  and  reasonable  rates  carriers  and 
packers;  doing  so,  however,  without  any  assumption  of  responsibility  on 
its  part  for  the  acts  and  charges  of  the  parties  engaged  for  such  service. 

6.  Storage  of  any  purchase  shall  be  at  the  sole  risk  of  the  purchaser. 
Title  passes  upon  the  fall  of  the  auctioneer's  hammer,  and  thereafter, 
while  the  undersigned  will  exercise  due  caution  in  caring  for  and  deliver- 
ing such  purchase,  it  will  not  hold  itself  responsible  if  such  purchase  be 
lost,  stolen,  damaged  or  destroyed. 

Storage  charges  will  be  made  upon  all  purchases  not  removed  within 
ten  days  from  the  date  of  the  sale  thereof. 

7.  Guarantee  is  not  made  either  by  the  owner  or  the  undersigned 
of  the  correctness  of  the  description,  genuineness  or  authenticity  of  any 
lot,  and  no  sale  will  be  set  aside  on  account  of  any  incorrectness,  error 
of  cataloguing,  or  any  imperfection  not  noted.  Every  lot  is  on  public 
exhibition  one  or  more  days  prior  to  its  sale,  after  which  it  is  sold  "as

The  undersigned  exercises  great  care  to  catalogue  every  lot  cor- 
rectly, and  will  give  consideration  to  the  opinion  of  any  trustworthy  ex- 
pert to  the  effect  that  any  lot  has  been  incorrectly  catalogued,  and,  in  its 
judgment,  may  either  sell  the  lot  as  catalogued  or  make  mention  of  the 
opinion  of  such  expert  who  thereby  would  become  responsible  for  such 
damage  as  might  result  were  his  opinion  without  proper  foundation.
